Runia Impirii

“Suck a dick? DID YOU REALLY TELL ME TO SUCK A DICK!?!?!”

‘Yeah.’

We made it up to the last tower. Nightmare was nowhere to be seen. A group of old looking stones sat in the center of the chamber on an ancient pedestal.

“The elements!” Twilight shouted. She rushed forward only to be slammed back by… me…

“Ah. Not so fast.” ‘I’ said.

“Wow. I feel… disappointed. But now you can find out what your...”

“Not so fast?” I questioned. I was fucking pissed.

“Oh? Are you angry little vamp? Are you angry that after I’m done with her I’m coming for you?” It questioned as shadowy tentacles formed out of the walls.

I felt something deep inside of me break. Something… grand. I felt… like a god. “Show me how to lie. You’re getting better all the time.”

“What?” It questioned.

“What the hell? He just vanished? No not the damn fake. Ebon van… nope. He just…”

“Hit him right between the eyes!”

“Yep.”

“Well it’s all because of me!”

“He’s having fun beating his fake.”

After another few minutes from what I could tell I regained control. The fake had vanished and in it’s place a very very pissed off Nightmare Moon, “We… Will not. Take this anymore. We hoped that thou would see our truth Stallion. But instead thou has failed even that. How could one single being be so stupid as not too…”

“Stupid? No. I’m just not one for joining the wrong side.” I said as I delivered a healthy punch right to her face. The crack was loud. She was sent reeling backwards into the ground.

“OH SNAP!” Dash shouted.

I backed away.

Nightmare looked even more pissed off. “Thou… SHALT… PAY FOR THAT!” She charged a spell up and fired it at me. I had no time to dodge. I was sent backwards and smashed through the pedestal for the elements.

“NO!” Twilight screamed.

“GET UP! HOLD HER OFF UNTIL…”

“It’s over now. We hath won. Good shan’t prevail this time. Now we shall deal with all of you before we deal with this rebellious husband of ours.” Nightmare said.

“Bitch just said what?”

“Bitch what did you just call me?” I questioned. A new fire flamed in my entire being.

“What did thou just call us?” Nightmare said as she turned towards me.

“That doesn’t answer my question. Let me reiterate. What did you. The Bitch. Just call me?” I responded.

All of the girls were staring at me.

“Ebon… don’t…” Twilight said.

“Twilight. I’m dealing with the most pressing matter right now.” I responded.

I think she got the cue. I was playing Nightmare into another battle.

“Thou… hast dared to call us… The new Supreme Ruler of all of Equis… A bitch? You shall pay for your tongue stallion.” Nightmare responded. She prepared to fight me again.

I twirled the blade effortlessly around myself, “Let’s dance then.” I brought down flawlessly a violent blow that managed to destroy part of the floor.

She dodged and fired a few spells at me. I sliced two in half sending them in opposite directions. I threw my blade and it clearly missed her on it’s way to her.

“HA! Thou hast thrown away your only…” She began as I charged up and delivered a clean gut punch.

“I don’t fight fairly!” I responded as I began to beat the shit out of her. Every punch became more violent and powerful.

She finally was able to fight back and kicked me hard sending me into the thrones.

“Ebon! Get up!” Somepony shouted.

The blood and adrenaline rushing to my head… no. The rage and anger pouring into my head made all the voices except Nightmare’s sound the same. Unappealing. I flipped back up in what could have been considered a breakdance move.

“JUST DIE!” Nightmare shouted. She fired a spell that spelled my end.

My sword came flying straight back down and cleaved the spell into nothing. It was stuck in the ground halfway between Nightmare and I.

“Not the best so far but a great start!”

I rushed the sword and so did Nightmare. When I connected with the sword I heard a gasp and somepony say, “I’ve got it!”

I heard something else and all six of their names said. I ripped the sword out of the ground. When it swung back it collided with a spell.

“NO!” Somepony screamed.

Instead of seeing a cleaved spell the sword changed. It became an entirely new sword.

“... Twilights’ Requiem…”

I like that name a lot. I slid it around the air seemed to alternate between heating up and cooling down so there was a trail of superheated steam following the blade. “It’s over Nightmare.”

I charged and swung the blade around I succeeded in cleaving across her chest.

She screamed in pain and was thrown back.

When she stumbled up again I brought the sword straight down cleaving through her. She was frozen I stepped back and swept the blade through the air creating some sort of air blade. When I released it the air blade slammed into Nightmare creating a large explosion sending me backwards.

In place of nightmare was an unconscious alicorn. I slid to the ground and basically wanted to fall asleep. Instead I was hugged tightly by Twilight who took to scolding me, “You shouldn’t have done that! You could’ve died!” Before she said, “Thank you… I… I don’t think we would have been able to get this far without you…” She helped me to my feet as Princess Celestia appeared.

I really stopped paying attention as I pulled Twilight into a kiss. Neither of us cared about anything going on around us. That was until the Princess said, “Twilight.”

Twi broke away and blushed intensely.

The Princess then spoke to me, “I’m sorry for ending that prematurely but I want to ask you one thing.”

I nodded and turned towards her. She wasn’t glaring or seething with rage.

“Are you by any chance undead?” She questioned.

“No. I never let you die. Infact I just made sure you would survive everything.”

“No. I am not.” I responded.

“Then I’m guessing your an Unturned Vampony or a Dark Stalker?” She questioned again.

I heard a gasp come from the girls.

“Yes. I am.” I responded.

“Ah. Now I understand why you helped defeat Nightmare instead of helping Nightmare herself. I’m also venturing to guess you have an Ancient Vampony acting as a guide inside of you.” She said again.

“My Turn.”

Lord suddenly appeared in front of me, “Yes he does T. That would be me. Your old friend.”

Oh. Shit. That’s who T is.

“Lord Ryzen. It’s been really far too long.” Celestia replied.

“I had… more important things to worry about… I’m sure you didn’t want me around at all.” He responded, “But enough about the past. I’m going to…”

“I already did.” Celestia responded.

I realised what they meant. The sun was coming up and it was coming in through the crack in my armor. I wasn’t burning. I gently grasped Twilights hand.

“Now… Let’s get back to Ponyville I have a few things I need to attend too before I leave with my sister.” Celestia said.

When we teleported I was dumped into Twilight’s Bedroom with none of the others around me.

“Sorry about that. She doesn’t want you involved at the moment. I’ll tell ya when we’re done.”

‘Great. So is it about me?’

“Can’t tell ya. Technicalities and all. You’ll find out in a few.”

I pushed myself off the ground and stripped my armor off. I found some clothing waiting for me. I realised that Celestia had wanted me to wait. I got dressed and walked out into the main room. Nopony here either. I sat down in a chair and leaned back. I was almost asleep when Twilight came in.

She looked right at me as the door shut behind her, “Ebon… I…”

I got out of the chair and walked over to her. We embraced and she laid her head down against my chest.

She started to cry. I was about to ask what’s wrong when she kissed me passionately. When she broke the kiss she said through the occasional sniffle, “I’m staying! And the Princess said she doesn’t mind us being together! She said it’s up to my family on whether or not I’m allowed to date you.”

I wiped a tear from her eye and said, “Twi, that’s great…”

“That’s not it though, the Princess said she’d try to get an old recipe for a substitute for blood!” She continued.

I was a little surprised maybe I’d be able to live a more normal life then having to feed every few days.

“And… and… I… decided that… um…” She began.

I smiled a little, “Give it some time… We have a long time to get there. For now all I want to do is hold you, comfort you, love you, and be here for you.”

She looked up again and our eyes met, “Ebon, I love you…”

“Twi, I love you too. And tonight you’ve done so much…” I began.

“No! You’ve done so much more! I…” She began as she realised what I was implying. She smiled.

“My lady… If I may?” I said.

She nodded as I lifted her up and carried her back to our room. Instead of waiting for me to set her down she managed a spell that teleported our clothing off.

I laid her down and laid down in bed right beside her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled herself towards me. I kissed her right away as I pulled the blankets up, “Let’s sleep in a little late today…”

“I’m not going to say no to that…” She responded with a smile as we continued to make out. After a few minutes of making out she started to fall asleep.

“Good night Twi.” I said as she fell asleep against me.

She tried to respond but her head hit the pillow and she fell asleep right there.

I smiled a little and wrapped my arms around her and fell asleep myself.
